Senior Pets

Once your dog turns 7 years of age or your cat turns 8 years of age, we should consider a senior wellness exam. Even though you may believe your pet is healthy, there are many age-related disease processes that do not show any outward sign until the disease is quite advanced. More advanced diseases can be more difficult to treat and are not always as responsive to treatment as diseases diagnosed early.

Early detection of  kidney, liver and thyroid diseases, to name a few, allow us to administer the appropriate treatments to make your pet comfortable help extend their life.

As well, nutritional needs change as your pet ages. We can discuss an appropriate diet to meet those needs.
